Trump repeats call for Supreme Court to end automatic U.S. birthright citizenship.

[Mac-7]

The Supreme Court is supposed to interpret existing law, not create new ones. I don't see how ending birthright citizenship has any basis in current law, and so it isn't in their purview to rule that way. It might be Congress that needs to legislate that. I can see where the status quo needs to be changed, but the Supreme Court isn't the way to do it.

The current birthright citizenship “law” is not a law at all

Or at least not a constitutional right

It was a decision by the black robes around 1900 that open border advocates stretched to include chinese tourists and illegal aliens

What the SC giveth it can take away

the SCOTUS interprets the Constitution though. We are bestowing citizenship on individuals not based on Legislation passed by the Congress but due to a vaguely worded amendment that was interpreted to mean "birthright" citizenship. If the court can rule that the 14th amendment translates to "birthright" citizenship, then they certainly can rule that it doesnt.
